I’m … hopefully cautious. It’s coming from a place of conscientiousness, not paranoid dejection |

I’m a victim of perpetual bad luck so I’m bound to cynicism. It’s the only way |

People = scum. Why won’t I be cautious of their intentions? Who do you trust? |

2/6-lite but I just wanna emphasise that I’m balanced in it all. I really do see the good and bad |

I do come across as paranoid to some at times (not randomly; to people who know me) but yeah. There’s a reason for that, and I have had a lot of bad luck. I try and see the good in things and situations and in that sense I would say I’m fairly balanced but I’ve just gotta be realistic. And, again, it’s the balance between the good and bad. I’ve been having that discussion with someone recently (they know who they are). I’m going through a random unlucky situation right now but I’m just hoping it goes in my favour. Viewed through a reasonable lens it has no reason not to.
In many ways I’ve been born to lucky circumstances but it’s easy to lose track of that when you’ve been in the thick of really dark experiences for at least 17 years and bad things just keep happening to you: I’m lucky in some ways but the furthest thing from it in many other areas. I guess I’m just resilient.
